Define the S.I unit of magnetic field '' A charge moving at right angles to uniform magnetic field does not undergo change in kinetic energy '' Why ?

Answer»

Solution :Tesla is the SI unit of magnetic field . The magnetic field at a POINT is one Tesla if a charge fo one coulomb while moving perpendicular to the magnetic field with a velocity of `1 ms^(-1)` experiences a force of 1 NEWTON at that point .
The force on a moving charged particle in a magnetic field is perpendicular to its direction of MOTION . So WORK done on the charged particle by the magnetic force is zero . Hence the kinetic energy of charged particle in a magnetic field remains UNCHANGED .
